Paris Green.
). MORRIS,
Chairman.

Some weeks since we mentioned
the fact that Mr.. A. f. Fugler was
in town after Paris Green as cotton
worms were eating up a piece of
fine cotton. Only day or two ago
we learned the result.
The worms had entirely destroyed
about one acre OF cotton before
the paris green was secured, and the
balance was specklcd and would
have been destroyed in another day.
Mr.. F mixed one pound OF the
poison with 35 pounds of -four and
sprinkled from q sack, made of bag
gin. attached to timber pole about
8 feet long. The tops particularly
were sprinkled and the dew carried
the poison to the leaves below.
The const qucnee was that the ten
acres ot cotton were saved and will
yield, Mr.. FugIer tells us, zone and
IL half bales to the acre.
This is the most convincing test
of the value of the poison that has
occurred in this immediate vicinity
and our readers will make note Ui
it no doubt for future reference
One pound Of paris green and 30
pounds of -four were used TO the
acre; if the cotton is small this
quantity of powder will go further

TO THE VOTERS OF FRANKLIN
COUNTY, MISS.
KNOXVILLE. MISS. Oct. 10, 1881

KNOXVILLE, Miss, Oct. 10, 1887.
Upon the very urgent solicitation of
many friends and voters, have consent
ed for my name to be placed before the
people, they claiming me to be the right
full nominee for Representative of Frank
lin county. 1t is conceded that l got
a majority of the instructed votes that
were sent from the various voting pre-
cincts to the Democratic Convention held
in Meadville on the 22nd day of August,
1887. 1t is claimed by my opponent that
he had a majority of the popular vote.
| would not think of becoming a candi-
date on the majority of the popular vote
after being subject to the action of the
Convention. The following affidavit will
show that should have been credited in
Convention with 40 votes from Knox
vile box, while l was only accredited
with 1870; the difference of which will
over balance the majority claimed for my
opponent.
Not being physically able to make a
canvass of the county, will be necessa-
rily compelled to leave the matter
with the voters of Franklin coun-
ty to decide at the coming Novem-
Der election, promising faithful dis
charge of duty to the best of my ability.
if elected. Yours respectfully,

The Farmers Alliance.

II should be we'll understood and
impressed upon the minds OF all,
that the Farmers Alliance does not
desire to antagonize any class Of
citizens, but only to accomplish by
combination and organization what
cannot be effected by individual
effort. The Alliance originated in
Texas, and So great has its influence
become that it is felt even in Con
grrss. and the Interstate commerce
bill. which is designed 10 benefit
merchant rs well as farmer, is the
child of the Alliance, introduced in.
to Congress by Texas hroad-mind-
cd senator, Jno. II. Reagan, and
made law through the influence of
the great mass Of farmers.
There is nothing 10 fear or object
to in the movement on the part of
tho farmers, but everything to com
mend. Like Il mighty avalanche
it is sweeping over the country,
gathering together the great bro
thcrhond of farmers in the bond uf
harmony and unity.
The farmers have grievances and
many unjust burdens, but these they
do not Propose To remove by n spirit

but hy enliSting persons Of enlarged
views and conservative ideas tn the
support Of those rights and priv
icgeS guaranteed TO every citizen,
however humble.
AS laid down in their constitution.
the purposes Of this order is TO labnr
for the education of the agricutu-
rsl classes in the science Of Pcnnom-
ical government, to develop q better
state mentally, morally, socially
and financially: to create a better
understanding for sus,ainln. civil
officers in maintaining law and or
der: 10 constantly strive To secure
harmony and good will among man
kind; to suppress prcjndices, rivalry
and selfish ambition. and many
other noble purposes which tend Ia
better the condition Of mankind
and especially those who till the
soil.
The constitution can he seen and
read by any one, and its perusal will
satisfy amy mind that the farmers
movement is cnmmendable. and tn at
there is no reason why the merchant,
the lawyer, or he doctor cannot take
them cordially by the hand and wish
them God speed. While the farmers
desire tn" utmost good feeling, they
will I've fearless in demanding those
rights To which they are conceded 10
be- entitled; that, and nothing
more.

The Next Legislature.

1t will be we'll enough to elect
men to the next Mississippi Legis-
lature who do not own any stock in
the Gulf IL Ship Island Railroad.
This will tend TO proper solution
of the Peniteutiary question, and
probably result in the abolition OF
the lease svstcm, which is wrong In
principle. BY all means the State
should not surrender the control oil
its convicts To individuals who wish
to make money out of them. And
in following this principle, the sever.
al counties should retain control OI

State Finances.

Pursuant TO the rcquirments of
an Act approved April 80, 1887. the
Auditor and Treasurer have pub
lished a statement Of the receipts
and disbursements for each month
of the year 1886.
The receipts, in the aggregate,
amount to 81, 295, 707 76,and include
the sum Of $4S3, 600. 90, realized from
5 and per cent bonds and the
eight per cent loan. The receipts
from the ordinary sources amount
to $Sl2,701 90.
The disbursements foot up ST.

business. Not only should there be
tull attendance Of the committee,

IF the Democratic ticket at the APP
preaching election. Thus far Mr..
Sessions, our nominee Tor Reprcscn-

pendent opponents. With such an
advantage, il would he an evcrast-
ing digracr to the Democracy of the
county 10 suffer q defeat. Moth
ing is easier than his election il
Democrats will only do their duty.
We would like 10 see Democratic
club organized at every precinct be
tween now and election day 10 work
in Sessions interest, and To be on
band at the polls and spot the men
with the Democratic password who
oppose him, that they may be known
as party traitors hereafter, and We
hope the committee will recommend
vigorous POLICY in this respect,
In this connection we may sa,
that, aside from being the Demo
cratic nominee, Sessions is undonht-
edly he best qualified man in the
race for Representative, and this
furnishes an additional reason why
he should receive the hearty and
earnest support of all patriotic
voters.

report on Prohibition,
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED AT THE LATE
MEETING OF THE BoGUE CHITTo

Your committee on Prohibition
would respectfully submit the fol-
lowing report:
In our judgment the liquor traf.
fic is Satan's most potent agency
it opposes all things that are right.
To remove this curse we should
invoke the help at the Lord;
properly educate public sentiment;
enhghten every creature nv the
wort of Col; obtain wholesome
laws against the traffic and sec
To 1t that they are faithfully en-
forced.
No where in the word of God
are we allowed the use of ardent
spirits as n beverage, therefore,
We urge total abstinence from all
Intoxicating liquors. The whole
liquor system is wrong in princi-
pie, soul destroying and God dis
hOnnring ; therefore it is on evil
that cannot he regulated and must
be prohibited Hence we say to

We advise every church to take
high grounds on ihi, question and
maintain it with un~avering firm

only for officers Of honor and

In conclusion, we speak with graf

GULLIBILITY.

The wild phsntoms and shrieking cries Of q
worthless humbug can make money by imposing
upon the credulity and Ignorance OF an honest
publ c, and the supply OF thts species OF WORK
seems more than an adequate demand. Inc
enunciation of facts-facts that have stood cru
cial tests-facts proven by brain force and tan
gible evidences should satisfy all laudable en-
teTprises; but the execrabe pratice OF Teaching
false ideas and doctrines for selfagrandiz eme Mt
Is truly reprehensible and should be scOrned by
all classes.
when one house tells you that Iodine OF pot
ash - q poison simply because their opponents
use 10, and because they are panderinz ts your
ignorance, as they suppose, you should look up
on all such as arrant frauds and their remedies
as unworthy of public confidence, and u those
who make such assertions do not know better
